FOR SALE Scimitar GTE 1977 SE6a 400 quid DURHAM

[autofive]

I bought this se6a last week with the intention of breaking it but once i looked at the interior and chassis I would rather offer it for sale (just to get my money back) as its far too good to break

twos thing to mention straight away: its 400 quid. And thats a firm price, as I paid 400 for it.

and its in Durham, but i can arrange a delivery via a professional company (not shipley) if thats your bag.


so, a bloke rang me last week to tell me his mate had a scimitar to sell, after much argi bargi, pointless phone calls with vague description of 'been in storage for over 20 years' and constant badgering, the price was whittled down to 400 quid. OWE655R finally arrived late on friday night

the story seems to be true: 22 and a half years of storage after the heads were removed to have unleaded valve seats fitted. The car (in 1991) was in the ownership of Tony Baker, he of Tony Baker Racing Developments Ltd.
The car arrived with no keys, and while moving it the steering lock engaged, so i had to remove the steering column shroud to free it. The seller is waiting for the V5c to be returned in their name, so no docs either. Its a manual car, with overdrive and according the speedo 16K (more likely 116K) miles

bodywork seems to be in very good order, the primer is over burgundy paint, so you could leave in primer or prep and paint over
bumpers look very good and rear lights look new. Headlights are inside the car.






the engine (which is being removed) is seized, but all ancillaries, cables, linkages, pipework, radiator etc will remain with the car.


only two bits of damage to the bodywork
1. bonnet catch area has some cracking (looks like someone has tried to pull the car forward holding the body), easily rectified with GRP patching
2. towball through the front panel? the two pieces are in the car, again, easily rectified with GRP patching


underside:
the chassis is in cracking condition, the outriggers are all excellent, and the main chassis in very good order too. The body hoop plates are both in good condition



front suspension and brakes all look good as do the rear, no leaks from the power steering or rear axle.





interior:
unrippled dashtop, all gauges are there apart from the clock. since this photo was taken i have removed the steering column surround, see photos below  


drivers seat has a tiny amount of rubbing to the piping, otherwise very good


passenger seat and rear seats, no damage




carpets need a good valet, but all there and not rotten or torn
centre console is the boot (some cracking and a repair), along with the door cards
boot carpet, headlining, and side plastic mouldings all in very good condition.
one seat belt needs replacing as its frayed.
Box of interior screws and fixings inside the car.

the parts needed to complete I can supply for an extra cost of 150 quid:

engine - I have a very good engine, standard bores, photos available, removed from an auto se6a  
one engine mount rubber
passenger side seat belt
rear hatch and fastenings
lock set and steering column
one rear fog lamp lense

you will still need a carb, exhausts, rear reg. plate and four tyres to get it through an MOT


important bit: I really need a quick sale on this car, (a quick decision anyway) or it will have to be broken for spares. I have rent to pay and mouths to feed. I can store the car for a short period for a buyer, (once the asking price has been payed) but after the 1st of july will cost to store.

Feel free to PM me to ask ask questions, request specific photos or arrange to view

Its a shame that it is likely to get the chop. That's the way shit goes these days.  You cant sell shizzle.
